German Documentary On U.S. Military “Kill Team” Reveals New Video

By Elizabeth C.

GERMANY’S SPIEGEL TV HAS PRODUCED THE FIRST DOCUMENTARY ON THE U.S. “KILL TEAM” THAT MURDERED AFGHANIS FOR SPORT. The video includes scenes shot by photographer Max Becherer who was embedded with the 5th Stryker Brigade for a single day and depicts soldiers collecting visual trophies of their “kills.”Most tellingly, Becherer also captured a shot of suspected ringleader Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs carrying trauma scissors; Gibbs is accused of removing his victims’ fingers as trophies and of using them to intimidate other soldiers.

The scissors prompted Becherer to ask Gibbs if he was a medic. “He was kind of sheepish and he answered just what I asked,” Becherer told Spiegel. “He said, ‘No, I just have to be ready.’ And he kind of looked at me.”

Spiegel’s documentary is the most detailed video story on the thrill kills of five Brigade soldiers now on military trial. Portion of the documentary have been uploaded to YouTube and are posted below for your convenience.

Part one of the documentary posted by CriticalEye21 introduces viewers to four of the primary suspects of the of the 5th Stryker Brigade accused of being the “kill team” including 19-year-old Andrew Holmes, 22-year-old Adam Winfield, 21-year-old Jeremy Morlock and 25-year-old Gibbs.

In the second portion of the documentary, Spiegel talks to the parents of Adam Winfield who had told his father on Facebook that soldiers were planning to kill for sport. Gibbs would intimidate Winfield with fingers he cut from Afghan war victims. This portion also includes the video of several Iraqis being killed by American gunners to which music had been added by soldiers. And it includes quotes from Becherer who was embedded with the camp for a day. “The soldiers act cagey and strange enough to where I thought visually these guys aren’t letting me photograph their faces. They’re being very aware that I’m there. …Some of them didn’t have their name patches on. And so I thought today I’m also going to also record audio.”
